Minimum wage revised

MinLabourWageincreasedThe Ministry of Labour and Human Resources has revised the minimum wage rate for the lowest level of unskilled workers in the country. The revised wage is Nu. 125 per day. It will come into effect from February 1 next year.

The Labour Minister, Ngeema Sangay Tshempo, said the revision was done taking into account the soaring price of commodities. “The soaring price mainly affects the people of low income group.”

The ministry will issue the circular across the country tomorrow.

Until February, the minimum wage rate for the lowest level of unskilled workers will be Nu.100 per day. The rate was first fixed by the National Minimum Wage committee in 2011.
